One of the questions I get asked so much is, “How hard is it to drive on the wrong side of the road when you are in England?” My response is always the same, “It feels like the correct side of the road to me.”

I can’t read our maps here in the United States for the life of me, but you give me a British road map and it makes sense to me… And all of the different road signs in England and Scotland… They make SENSE to me.

They have WAY more road signage than we do here in the states. Here are a few signs we don’t see often… And then i sum it all up in the paragraphs below! My husband drives like a pro over there. The roads sometimes can hardly allow two cars to drive down the road at the same time due to them being so narrow. Many times you have to pull over wayyyyy down the road if you see someone else coming in order to allow another car to drive on the road as well—remember, these roads weren’t always for cars—they were for horses/coaches… And that’s what I love about England.

Not everything has been made to accommodate our lives today… So many things are preserved. It’s nothing to drive thru a small village and someone’s front door is about 5 feet from the road! The roads can’t be expanded!! And they don’t tear up their land building new roads and tear down old buildings to make new ones! SUV’s are RARELY seen and if they are, then it’s likely a rover… Trucks?? Hardly ever! This isn’t America… And it feels like the correct side of the road to me. A roundabout??? Bring it on! I have no patience and tolerance for stoplights so roundabouts are to me, what its all about!
